A new Gallup poll highlights the fact that Americans are at their wits’ end with government, all three branches of government.

Confidence in the Supreme Court, Congress, and the presidency has hit record lows.The Supreme Court is down to a 30 percent approval rating, an all
time low. Congress is currently at 7 percent, another all time low. The President is now at 29 percent, a six year low, and an all time low
under Obama, just 4 points higher than the all time low under then
reviled George W. Bush in 2007.

The branch with the most steep drop in confidence is the presidency,
falling a full seven percentage points from its 2013 rating of 36
percent.

Obama is currently experiencing worse ratings than his two
predecessors, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, at the same point in
their terms, and has done in each subsequent year of his presidency.

To put this into further perspective, in 1998 Bill Clinton had a
rating 24 points higher than Obama currently does, despite the fact that
he was embroiled in a sex scandal and facing impeachment.

At the same point in Bush’s presidency, his approval remained
higher than Obama’s is now, despite the fact that American support for
the Iraq war was at an all time low.

Since this time last year, approval for the Supreme Court, has
fallen by four points, with approval for Congress falling three points.
It’s a steady decline, with both branches having fared poorly from 2012
to 2013 also.

Congress, as highlighted above, is now trusted by fewer than
one in ten Americans. With more government scandals than you can shake a
stick at, economic stagnation, destruction of the middle class, the widening gap between rich and poor, a crumbling nation wide infrastructure, Americans clearly feel that Congress is utterly failing to
represent their views and wishes on Capitol Hill.

Gallup has also noted that of 17 institutions it has measured
this year, Congress came rock bottom in terms of confidence status with
Americans.

The criminal justice system, the health care system, and even
banks all ranked much higher.

America’s elected representatives are also still viewed in a worse light than zombies, witches, dog poop, potholes, toenail fungus, and hemorrhoids.

Congress also still ranks less popular than
cockroaches, lice, root canals, colonoscopies, traffic jams, used car
salesmen, Genghis Khan, Communism, North Korea, BP during the Gulf Oil
Spill, or Nixon during Watergate.

“While Americans clearly have the lowest amount of confidence in
the legislative branch, ratings for all three are down and are at or
near their lowest points to date.” Gallup notes.

Up until now, the bizarre loyalty of American voters has been that when they are asked if they'd vote for their own Congressman, historically a majority has said "Yes."

Until now.

The numbers have finally went upside down (CLICK HERE), with a majority now saying
they would vote against even their own Member of Congress.Most Americans now say Congress is so dysfunctional, they wouldn't even reelect their own Congressperson.

However, there is often a disconnect between what voters say and actually do in the voting booth. There is also a widespread failure of voters to actually cast a vote because they have no faith in the candidate's running for political office

In many ways the problem is staring at us every morning in the bathroom mirror.

Why do we keep voting for people we hate or not voting at all to dump them from their thrones of self indulging power?

Voters don't blame themselves, but
in fact, they are part of the problem. They don't vote in primaries
when it really matters. That is how they get stuck with two idiot clowns on the November general election
ballot because they weren't there voting when these clowns were first
selected in the primaries.But the major part of the problem is that we in fact do not actually have a choice in elections, such as the upcoming mid year elections in November 2014.

Those running for Office have already usually been
bought and paid for by special interest groups, to even get their name
on the ballot.

Both
Democrats and Republicans have cleverly redrawn the voting maps to redistrict the voters into
safe party enclaves, so there really is no choice in much of America to kick out the politicians who have turned us all into powerless victims.

Yes, the slime ball politicians have abused their power by "fixing' the system so that your vote against them will not count very much, if at all.

The Founders of the Constitution agreed that we needed a representative
democracy,

They wanted a democracy, which according to their beliefs is a government where the views of the people
were represented by popularly elected leaders.

Leaders have to be regularly elected by their constituents.

The central purpose of government is to protect the natural rights of its citizens.

Wouldn't it be nice if we as citizens could use our constitutional rights to persuade the local Congresspersons to change their attitude by demanding action to reform the current shit hole called Congress?

Can that happen, after all, we are The United States of America, land of the free and where democracy reigns supreme.

To be honest: No. This is not going to happen by those drunk with their own self interest, greed, corruption, and political power.
